Brewers move Lee to 3B and he wins the job out of spring training and he’s waiting in the wings if Adames leaves in free agency after ‘24 and they decide Turang isn’t the answer. Twins add Burnes to the rotation and sign him to an extension and the 20yr old Quero gets added to the 40 man for rule rule 5 protection and starts ‘24 in AA and finishes the year in AAA and is pushing for playing time in ‘25.
Brewers say no immediately. They are probably going to lose 6 of their top 8 starters after this year and next, so they need pitching, not position players when they trade Burnes. Milwaukee would never sell so low on Burnes and include Quero in a 2 for 1 trade. They would be much, much better off keeping Quero and selling Burnes at the deadline next year to a big market team hit by injuries and poor performance. There is always a market for a good SP and there is usually someone willing to overpay to get it.
